Bend,
OR – October 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Tetherow
Golf Club is proud to announce Director of Agronomy Chris Condon will
receive the Michael S. Hindahl Environmental Stewardship Award at the 2017
Environmental Seminar, scheduled for Tuesday, October 24th at The Oregon
Golf Club. Given annually by the Oregon Golf Course Superintendents Association,
the award recognizes superintendents that have shown leadership and environmental
fortitude, exemplifying the life of the late Michael S. Hindahl.
“I
am very honored to be awarded the Hindahl award for environmental stewardship
from the Oregon Golf Course Superintendents Association,” said Condon.
“To have Tetherow and myself be recognized for our efforts makes me very
proud.”
“This
award is just another example of the great work that Chris Condon does
at Tetherow Resort,” said Managing
Partner Chris van der Velde. “From day one, he’s been our largest proponent
of environmental stewardship, and I’m glad to have him on our team.”
Tetherow’s
pledge to ensuring environmentally sound philosophies and practices are
integrated into nearly every aspect of the course development, as well
as on-going agronomic practices that support sustainability and environmental
excellence. Condon has been the driving force behind Tetherow’s environmental
success since first coming to the course for its ground breaking in 2006.
He has been part of every aspect of the club’s construction, including
the re-naturalization of the club’s natural areas.
“There
are many people that deserve the recognition from Tetherow, namely, Chris
van der Velde, who co-authored our Integrated Pest Management and Best
Management Practices plans,” added Condon. “Chris also started the conversation
to become a Certified Signature Sanctuary from Audubon International. A
lot of the credit goes to Chris.”
